		Among this group were the leaders of numerous European yeshivas, most of which were in Lithuania, who came to the United States and founded institutions or academies of higher learning modeled after their European predecessors.
		The odyssey of the Mirrer Yeshiva is a blend of high drama, power politics, international relations, and above all, the commitment of a yeshivah in exile to the highest ideals of Jewish learning and educational life.
		The uniqueness of the Mirrer Yeshiva is that while individual leaders in America gave direction to groups of followers that arose, it served as an example of an entire "community of scholars" who had continued to study during the war years.

	Rav Moshe Landynski
		The yeshiva students' total respect for and deference to Rav Moshe was a result of his outstanding personality as well as the Chofetz Chaim's esteem for him.
		Seeing how their rosh yeshiva, who was thoroughly knowledgeable in every aspect of the Torah, studied without pause had a greater influence on them than any mussar discourse could have.
		The Chofetz Chaim felt that the yeshiva needed a rosh yeshiva who would be able to impart Rav Chaim's approach to the students, too, and that this would result in the further development of the yeshiva.

	The Lithuanian Yeshivot
		In 1803, Rabbi Chaim ben Isaac of Volozhin (1749-1821) established what was to become the classic model of Lithuanian yeshiva, a central institution that was designed not merely to educate local youths, but primarily to serve as a focus for the finest students throughout the Jewish world.
		He was the son-in-law of Rabbi Isaac, son and successor to Rabbi Hayyim of Volozhin, and he became the head of the yeshivah in 1854.
		Following the outbreak of World War I and the German invasion of Lithuania in 1915, most of the important yeshivot were forced into exiles to the eastern domains of Russia and the Ukraine, a fact which resulted in the expansion of their influence to areas previously remote from intensive Jewish learning.

		He was a remarkable builder who established himself as a leader and the yeshiva as a prime Jewish center, with solid comprehensive ingenuity, with diligence, integrity, and devotion and love for the Torah, his people, and the Land.
		Above all, the core of the yeshiva's influence was the spreading of her essence far away from her borders and from the sphere of her disciples.

		Unfortunately, the Volozhin Yeshiva didn't last too long as the Czarist government of Russia saw what was going on and tried to force it to adopt a more secular curriculum as part of making it less Jewish.
		While the Volozhin Yeshiva was willing to tolerate some secular studies, the Russian demand that all faculty members have diplomas from recognized Russian educational institutions in order to teach "Russian language and culture" was not acceptable.
		By the time the Volozhin closed, other yeshivas based on its models were already in operation, many started by the students of the Volozhin.

		Another difference between Volozhin and the yeshivos that came after it was that they didn't learn mussar in Volozhin, meaning that mussar study wasn't part of the yeshiva's daily schedule as it is in other yeshivos, where it is learned for half an hour before ma'ariv.
		There were other problems in Volozhin, besides the terrible decree that resulted from the government's demand that they include secular studies that closed the yeshiva.
		When you ask someone why Volozhin closed, he replies, "Because of the government." In other words, because of Funye, whose ministers acceded to the demands of the maskilim that secular subjects be studied in the yeshiva.

		In practice however, it did not always turn out to be that way, especially when the contesting parties for the leadership of the institution each had legitimate family credentials.

		This is what prompted me to start this thread on historical truth, because according to the "yeshiva world," the "Yeshiva Movement," as they call it, is attributed to the Gra (who actually just learned in his room), because his talmid, R' Chaim of Volozhin started a yeshiva.
		His yeshiva is considered the Mother of All Yeshivos, as though yeshivos didn't exist before he started his own.
		I have yet to hear a clear explanation as to what "organized institution" means, and how this was not prevalent before the yeshiva in Volozhin was established, and was so radically different than what previously existed that it can be said that the "yeshiva movement" began with Volozhin.
